BOVINES

Some animals, like cows, have massive bodies and short legs. Their bodies are quite angular and can look like a rectangle, depending on the angle. They also have large heads with relatively thick snouts.

To draw a cow, start by drawing a large rectangle.

Choose an upper corner, and draw the neck and head.

When drawing the legs, remember they are quite thin and shorter than donkey or horse legs.

Add some finishing touches to the head and, if your cow has any, draw some spots on the body.

The bull is visibly more muscular than the cow, so its body parts are usually rounder.

A bison has much more detail at the front of its body than the back. It also has a flattened head and a neck that appears shorter because it’s covered with fur.

The water buffalo has a big snout and large horns.
